French Foie Gras Linguine Aglio Olio from Mad About Sucre’s new summer menu. The peppery, garlicky and well-oiled linguine was zhup-ly wet with anticipation while elsewhere the delicate, gossamer-skinned cubes of foie gras deflate marvellously in your mouth, revealing their indulgently, lusciously gooey softness within. 4.1/5 Mad About Sucre 27…
